And sometimes trials come our way because we made the mistake of praying, "Lord, give me patience!" So very true! When it comes to God always be prepared to get what you ask for! and patience is a doozy to learn!

The only reason I can see this being part of prophecy is that the hearts and minds have turned from God. America certainly had its origins complied from the scriptures, but not all men who created the constitution believed in the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, some were strict deist. Allowing other faiths and practices have always been apart of America but the concerted effort to do away with all things our God represents have grown to the point where one day anyone claiming our God will be set for some serious troubles ahead. To me thats what the article is showing not Magog but our own hearts turned from Him. shalom, Mizz

I can agree with you yet I have witnessed such little things so many times to know He is directing our paths when it reflects His will. I do not believe and agree with you that He is not directing our every day moves, protecting us in all things we are never promised a perfect life just the opposite really we are told we will have trials sometimes extreme ones. And God is not going to alter our freewill and the guy in the little story could have very well have been laying in the hospital griping about why God didn't 'save' him from all those troubles. Then God could have responded 'maybe next time you might listen better'. shalom, Mizz

Oh yes! God is smarter than we are! Amen.

Roy it is your writing that makes no sense. By trying to create your own high/low English you are confusing yourself as well as everyone here. Since it does seem that English may be your native tongue, if its not please let us know, yet it does seem it is and if English is your native language could you please then write in normal sentences using punctuation with it might help also. shalom, Mizzdy

Hi Joe, Heres another translation of the same verse. Therefore, I want to make it clear to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says, "Yeshua is cursed!" and no one can say, "Yeshua is Lord," except by the Ruach HaKodesh. Its saying that if a person has the Spirit of God they cannot say anything negative about Yeshua. If we have His Spirit dwelling within we are not going to curse God, His Son nor the Spirit, just wouldn't happen. All things come from Him, He sends forth His Spirit to teach, guide and direct our steps and if we are His we are not going to spew out hateful things about Him period. Its my honest assessment that if a person is cursing the Spirit then that person may never had truly given their heart to Him in the first place. I see some of this in the Messianic communities, those who put their faith in Messiah then run straight into Judaism and denounce His deity even supposedly after knowing Him! To me some of these are just playing around, they are also 'wolves in sheeps clothing'. Not sure if that helped you or not. shalom, Mizz

I ran into this on fb thought I would share.

Just gotta like the judge. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrxOtWvfv1E&feature=player_embedded

A simple missed key stroke, I fixed it for him.

Roy, The way you structure your sentences and thoughts makes it hard for us to follow with what you are saying. Is English your second language or is this your attempt at putting some kind of languages together as you wrote here on another thread: If you could answer a few questions it might help us understand you and what you are saying a bit better. Do you believe in the God of the bible, His Son Yeshua, (Jesus) who died on the cross for the penalty and curse of sin? You seem to have a bit of a different idea of Gods will. We are to allow God's Spirit to align our will/heart/mind with His allowing Him to mold and change us into the person He wishes us to be. I also do not understand your words on death, must we die in this physical body before we can become His? or are we only His at our death? If you could answer this questions and perhaps try using plain English instead of a combo of hi and low English which really are not even spoken today except in movies. Are you also trying to say that we are not 'saved' until we are physically dead? shalom, Mizzdy

Time managment as Candice points out is a great way to get your bible reading and study done, in our busy lives unfortunately it seems we have to 'pencil' in our studies. When I was still working I took time right after I got home before the kids got home from school. Now I have one of the greatest gifts of being able to study and dig when I need and want. There is always the various programs where you can stay on a schedule of reading you can find them online easily some come with set answers and such. shalom, Mizz

God does listen to every prayer, every time we call on Him, sometimes the answer is not what we expect, not what we want but most importantly we sometimes fail to hear what He is trying to say. Faith is also action, 2 Cor. 2:5 tells us its walking in that faith that matters so much. One of that hardest things we will ever do is learn to let God work in our lives, allowing Him to guide our hearts/will, to align ourselves with His will. Pray for guideance and the wisdom to carry it out, allowing God to guide may result in you trying for a position you never thought you could do, or a direction you never in a million years would have thought about. God may want you somewhere you dont want to me be simply because He has a plan for you. Keep praying earnestly, start putting focus on others also, try not letting all your prayers be focused on getting a job. I try to awake each morning asking Him how can I serve you today, what is Your will for me today. shalom, Mizzdy

The Shema states that YHWH is one theres no mistaking that yet we fail to also acknowledge that He presents Himself in many ways, even within as three. The first letters in the Hebrew show the Father, (head) has a house with a Son who goes out, (spirit) to the world, even within Judaism theres the concept of 'the unseen and seen YHWH'. No one is saying there are three 'separate' people but the ways in which He presents Himself to us. Regulation the Messiah to a mere man is false, taking away His deity leaves no recourse for salvation since we see it is Yah alone that saves and He did so by the Son He sent here in His place, part of Him who came to take the curse, the penaly of death from our heads. Oneness isnt going to cut it here, and while I may think that the trinity is limiting to Him I would never attached it to gnostism and believe me I have studied that out in detail over the years. I will say that in some circles the trinity is taught as three persons coming from one entity but that is not what you will find here. shalom, Mizzdy

I apologize for my immature behavior and I apologize for upsetting you. Thank you for your feedback. Please be at rest knowing you didn't upset me. Thank you for your apology and for showing such a humble heart! something not seen in much of our population today! shalom, Mizz

OK, how you explained it here was a much less personal way than your previous post. That said, I really don't think that Mizzdy has done or said anything for which Nebula needs to call her out on. I was hoping that what I said would have been taken in a different light, meaning that I was calling Nebula out on something - not taking a jab at Mizzdy. Here's what I said to Nebula a while back: "When I was a Christian it meant wanting to be an instrument for God doing his will whatever that was. It meant daily communion in prayer, I used to have a job that allowed me to be in prayer quite a lot throughout the day. It meant being willing to let go of what my personal pursuits are and accept what God gave me instead. This was my understanding or at least how I approached it." I was told this sounded like a "performance" based relationship. I thought Mizzdy's comments reflected my own. I see what you mean. It might have it was thought that you were scheduling your prayers or something along those lines and we see that in islam as well as in Judaism, making it seems somehow performanced based. Next time send Nebula a pm or you could somehow put a post together asking to see if theres similarities or how they differ? Calling someone out in the open forums really is frowned upon, against TOS. I can see in some ways how you were trying to align your will to His, often times though we need to step back and make sure we are the ones who are not really leading ourselves in what we think He wants. Its hard to get rid of our fleshly desires, I would say impossible this side of His Kingdom but we strive daily to be what He wishes us to be. shalom, Mizz

As Candice has stated, it is against TOS and well its just done right rude to 'call' out someone especially if one doesnt have any real understandings of the Spirit or mind of God. I would like you to show me how what I said is acting as if I base my relationship on performance? Lets review what I said: Now the op was about the mind and soul, my answer is how its seen in the Hebrew thoughts how is that 'performanced based'? It is true that we are to align our hearts or our will to His, we develop a relationship with Him in this way. Scriptures tell us that we are to do His will here on earth and how would you go about doing that if you do not understand His message, His directions for you if you do not have the same will? You cannot line yourself up with His will unless it also what you want also. So tell me stargaze, what is wrong with that and how does that make it a 'peformance'. In my book its love, love of God, love of our fellow brothers and sisters in Messiah as well as love for all of man. shalom, Mizz

Seems we have a returning banned member posting, this one has been banned also so please lets get back to our regularly scheduled program.

My dad used to do that, used to drive my mother crazy cuz he would say it outloud and well some words were always as nice as others.

I would like to have a list of fests on which great things happened, a war victory and other things that I know not, you know what I am talking about, cause I believe that God uses the fest to act. There was an archalogist that opened cave on different fest, his name was Jones, I forget his first and second name, he is no longer with us. He said, take the OT and mix it with dog urine and there you have the New Testament. Thats just a terrible thing for him to say! I have heard many sentiments like that from some Jewish brethren and well in some ways I can understand. I mean we take the Messiah promised, change Him from what He really was a Torah keeping, feast loving Messiah and protray Him as another God who takes everything away, we say that He did away with all things that God says are forever and then present Him to them in a totally unfamiliar way that is not in the prophecies. But the evidence is clear for all to see He didnt do any of that and He is the Messiah hoped for and promised. It truly is the condition of the heart, cuz I know a lot of rabbis, many who have seen Him as He is by just reading the NT in Hebrew and come to call on Him as their Messiah! If you would like to read something that shows His plan of salvation in His feast I could give you a link or two that show it all. shalom, Mizz

No Shiloh that is not my problem as I always state salvation is a gift one in which we do nothing but ask Him into our hearts and accept Him. As we repent we come to understand there are instructions for us to follow, not for salvation, Torah was never for salvation, but because we want to obey our God. We as we are told are grafted into the commonwealth of Israel, thats what scriptures say, not because it 'saves' us but because it is the body of the faithful. Yeshua, Peter, Paul, John all were adding gentiles to what? a brand new way of things? no there was an already existing body, a subset within the existing system. Believing Jews and non-believers alike worshipped together. Thats the whole thing about your take on what I say, you think 'two house' 'saved by legalism' when you read my posts and never once have I ever made that statement. So yes I completely agree we are grafted into Israel by His blood, nothing else will do. Now that we are grafted in, who are we? still gentiles I think not, we become Israel part of the covenant, part of His body. If you are adopted into a family you are now called by that name right? How are you able to participate in those blessing given to Israel and not be Israel? I am not spiritualizing anything. If a person brought into to live in a house, does all the things attached to that house, partakes in the blessings of the house, is called a son of that house are they not called by that name? I agree, it uniting the body of the Messiah. Unbelieving Jews and gentiles have no place in the kingdom do they, so when God promises to bring them back together is He promising to bring unrepentant unbelievers into the kingdom? Or do you think that Gods going to reunite the houses and then physical Israel is the one who must work out it all in the flesh while a gentile church is reaping the rewards of faithfully knowing Him? Theres no gentile church, no rabbinical Judaism, no christianity only the body of Messiah. Seriously? You do not see Moses as a delivering Gods people, or Joesph as a type of Messiah? You don't see where even Rahab who knew God was so powerful that all were afraid and she wanted to be part of Him? You dont see the exodus as how we are to move out of the worlds systems and put His first? Do you not see that even then Egyptians and probably others who had come there during the famine, leave with Israel, attach themselves to those because they saw the power of YHWH? Those are the prophetic foreshadowing I see, I see how God put these things down for our learning, to show us through out scriptures the types and shadows for us to understand. I do love the beauty and what His moedim stand for, I can see Messiah written into them, how they are a plan of His salvation. I see where God set them apart for always, olam, for all who call upon His name. I do not know a person who keeps them for salvation or because they are 'enthralled by them'. I want to keep them as a reminder, as a memorial not out of legalism, not out of any other reason than I love God and want to keep them, and it does seem we will be keeping some of them in the millennial reign, at least Sukkot. I really wish people would get over that whole 'legalism' mindset when it comes to feasts and Sabbaths, Yeshua said His ways are not burdensome but light and easy and in the moedim we have freedom also. God intended the physical descendants to be a light to the world, a nation set apart to show Gods glory and power, we as His body are to be the same thing are we not? God wanted all to come to Him not just Israel but all mankind and when He pulled those out of Egypt He gave all a choice, just as He does us today. It is not an assault upon God to be called an Israelite, nor is it to want to be called whatever He wishes to call us. God is the God of all who choose Him, He just put the title of Israel on those who do, its a title and nothing more. Just as Judah is a title given to one tribe but today they are known as the nation of Israel, there are 11 more tribes all who do not know who they are, we cannot rightly identify Benjamin, or Issachar yet they once were all known, today all the faithful are called Israel. When He returns we do not here where the angels are going to gather Simon, Ephraim or one of the 12 but all who call upon His name, who have kept the commandments of God and have the testimony of the Messiah, take them to the land of Israel and there we reign with Him. Thing is the gates in the new city/temple will be labelled with those 12 names, which gate do the gentiles go into? I believe they are assigned to one gate or another and perhaps even be refered to that name for whatever reasons, we just dont know for sure do we. I can sense this is going to go into one of those round and round things you dislike so much I will end my part here, whenever we butt heads its never edifying. I do wish though that you could get it out of your head that I am promoting two house theology as you have said in the past, if I believed that I wouldnt be on this forum. shalom, Mizz

And it was all part of His plan when Joesph was sold off. Remember the dreams, if Joesph as a type of Messiah was sent to a land not his own to prepare a safe place for his family. If Joesph had not be sold all would have starved to death. And as Nebula pointed out it was Judah who later stepped up for his brother. shalom, Mizz

Personally these days I dont really get into prophecy so much I see God has a plan He wrapped it up in His feasts, a seven step plan if you will, ..... shalom, Mizz a few years back i went to a "presentation" of a pastor talking about this. It was new to me and left there understanding what it was. The thing was that this pastor showed a lunar calendar chart and showed "possible" years on which Rosh Hashana the rapture may take place. He didn't claim to know the day nor the hour but presented some things he came accross his studies. As I said, talks seemed to have quiet down a little. Then again, I dont look at the news since i cut off my cable so maybe I was freaking myself out. That may have been Mark Biltz who put out a teaching on it all. He would never set a date, ever, but he does show that Gods plans are wrapped in His feasts and how He fulfilled the spring and will come back to fulfill the fall ones. I like to think of them as the seven 'steps' of salvation because within them we see our Messiah in every bit of them and what He would and will do for us.

Oh yes! Its not the amount of scriptures you know, how to 'rightly' interpret them that matters, its the intent of the heart/will. If we understood that our hearts desires should be His hearts desire then we see His will is our will. I love your post! His Word, the scriptures are meant to be lived out as examples, as His light, proclaiming Him to the nations and preparing for the kingdom to come. shalom, Mizz

Kadesh, holy, to be set apart, to distinguish, to sanctify, to hollow. To be part of the sanctified, to be distinguished from the profane. Many churches, many people are so far from that no one can tell they are separated by Him as His light. How do we set ourselves apart from them? Certainly by His blood we are set apart yet in what ways do we show it? What should someone see in a set apart child of Gods? I read a story somewhere of a man who had been thinking his life was just fine with some glitches, he went to a reunion and saw a woman who to him was 'set apart'. She had not always been that way but he felt he needed to know what it was and when he asked and found that she had given her heart to Him. The author or perhaps it was someone commenting on it said that he had known many christians and not one of them ever 'showed' God in them like this woman did. If this is the case and I do think it is, not all of us shine His light brightly, what exactly did this woman have that set her apart from the rest? What exactly sets us apart, acceptance of His blood should be the start yet what do we show to the world that makes us seen as set apart? Its a question I get asked a lot by those who are seeking or those who feel they are falling away so I thought I would ask here, what sets us apart? Sorry Monarchy if thats way off the topic I will start another thread. shalom, Mizz
